Amad Diallo’s sensational performance in Manchester United’s thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Manchester City on December 15 has sparked viral reactions, with fans humorously calling for the young star to be given a “10-year contract.”
In an intense Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium, City seemed poised for victory after Josko Gvardiol opened the scoring in the 36th minute, capitalizing on a deflected cross from Kevin De Bruyne. However, the Red Devils staged a stunning late turnaround, with Amad Diallo playing a key role.
The 86th minute saw Amad fouled in the box, leading to a penalty converted by Bruno Fernandes in the 88th minute to level the score. Just two minutes later, Amad secured United’s lead with a composed finish after a brilliant assist from Lisandro Martinez.
During his 30-minute appearance, Amad showcased his growing talent with an impressive 94% passing accuracy (32/34), two shots on target, and seven out of ten ground duels won.
Fans flooded social media to celebrate Amad’s heroics. One user on X passionately wrote:
“Give Amad a 10-year contract.”
Another added:
“Amorim actually owns Pep,” referencing United manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical masterclass over Pep Guardiola.
More praise poured in, with fans labeling Amad as “special” and hailing him as “the best player in the world.”
Amad Diallo’s influence continues to grow, with four goals and six assists across all competitions this season. Despite United’s challenging start to the Premier League campaign, their derby triumph sees them inch closer to recovery, securing 22 points from 16 matches.
The young Ivorian’s outstanding display has not only reignited hope for Manchester United’s season but also solidified his status as one of the team’s brightest talents for the future.
